Police: Barking dogs may have spooked man sexually attacking woman at knifepoint in Saugus

Saugus Police are hunting a man they say grabbed a woman at knifepoint Tuesday night and was getting ready to rape her when he suddenly fled, possibly spooked when first her dog and then other dogs in the area began to bark.

Police described the 10:30 p.m. incident:

The victim told police that she had been out running with her dog on Nason Road in Saugus when she heard fast footsteps approaching from behind her. A male grabbed her by the hair and pushed her into a tree. The suspect told the victim that he had a knife and ordered her not to scream. The suspect then grabbed her chest and genitals. He then struck her in the face. At this time,the victim's dog began to bark, causing other neighborhood dogs to bark.

The man was tall, thin and wearing cologne, police say. He wore a long-sleeved red shirt, dark pants, possibly jeans, and clean white sneakers.

The investigation is active and ongoing. Anyone who may have been in the area or who may have any information on this crime is asked to call Saugus Police at 781-941-1199 or the Anonymous Tip Line at 781-231-4037.

I thought, "Wow that guy has problems." But I wonder what kind of dog it was that would spook a man sexually."
